Americans suspicious of Mohammedans

A 2006 Gallup survey of American public opinion found that "many Americans harbor strong bias against U.S. Muslims". 22% say they would not like to have a Muslim as a neighbor. 34% believe U.S. Muslims support al-Qaeda. Only 49% believe U.S. Muslims are loyal to the United States. 39% advocate that U.S. Muslims should carry special ID

There is some justification for questioning the loyalty of Mohammedans. recent Pew poll:

Fully eight-in-ten (81%) British Muslims think of themselves as Muslims first rather than as British.

Killing infidels has been a core Mohammedan belief for 1400 years. I'd like to see some polls on how many Mohammedans endorse that view, and how many repudiate it.
